[Bug 1530445] Re: cannot install ubuntu alongside windows 10 on asus x552mj
Same issue, but had full connection to wifi the whole time; installer tells me that grub installation failed. How... I mean... I could see if there were an issue with Win10 overwriting a previous Ubuntu/grub install, but why is it failing when Ubuntu is installed second? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1530445 Title: cannot install ubuntu alongside windows 10 on asus x552mj To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub-installer/+bug/1530445/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Because the windows loader does not know how to load linux. You *can* configure it to chain load grub and then you will have the windows boot loader, choose grub, then it can load linux, but we generally prefer to do it the other way around. I'm glad you finally got it going. ** Changed in: grub-installer (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1530445 Title: cannot install ubuntu alongside windows 10 on asus x552mj To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub-installer/+bug/1530445/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

You are probably right about the swap. Thanks for your analysis. If I remember correctly, yes, I was either plugging in or uplugging the network cable during the install process from DVD (I believe without requesting updates from Internet during install). Something that should not have caused it to crash. I have managed to do it finally after several trials, the whole process was a terrible headache, even though I have installed Linux 20 times before. For instance - manual partitioning, or setting grub on /dev/sda5 usually did not work for some reason. I wish it would be more friendly assisting the user with various options, but verifying after him, if the settings are reasonable. In this messy EFI-UEFI world, nobody knows anymore how it should be setup. Why cannot we just use the standard windows loader and add another option of Linux there. Why do we need grub to sit on top of it, I wonder when will Windows clean it up next time. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1530445 Title: cannot install ubuntu alongside windows 10 on asus x552mj To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub-installer/+bug/1530445/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

The reasons for having swap are not changed by switching from hdd to ssd. Your install appears to have failed due to a version mismatch between grub-efi-amd64-signed and grub-efi-amd64. This may be due to the fact that you had some network errors. Please try again when you can successfully run apt-get update. ** Changed in: grub-installer (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1530445 Title: cannot install ubuntu alongside windows 10 on asus x552mj To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub-installer/+bug/1530445/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
